Family support system already in motion.

Also: My son will go home tomorrow. He's ambulatory, and will go to
a local doctor's office for chemo... they outfitted him with a "port"
in his chest (I haven't seen it yet), to allow "normal" living,
showering, etc.

Biopsy samples were finally taken from liver and lungs today, but we
don't yet know the results.

Thanks for your support!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

What are you talking about? No cancer has a chance of surviving if
it kills its host unless it's put into the ground and given a chance
to emerge again.

You don't know what you're talking about, since giving up always

If they don't fight, they won't win.

It's just as simple as that.

Hope springs eternal, and when you try to kill that then the shame
lies on you.

Absolutely.

BTW, among the 'other' cancers there was lung cancer (survived, so far)
and also esophageal cancer. The latter is considered fatal in 90%+ of
cases yet that patient is in her 5th year now. Very strong will-power.
Ok, the esophagus and stomach are gone but since she lived almost
vegetarian anyway it didn't change her diet too much, just no hard stuff
anymore. It also comes with the burden of remaining seriously
underweight but otherwise she picked up all of her previous activities.

Regards, Joerg
